Just make it yourself. Shouldn't cost more than a dollar worth of parts. 16ga wire, some heat shrink tubing, and two metal terminals. Solder everything together and shrink the tubing on.

Presto .... NO MORE DAMN DRLs now I can put ANY 9005 bulb in there that I want (i.e. Toshiba HIR @ $30) without fear of blowing them early due to being on 90% of the time at half wattage.
Where did you get your HIR bulbs? I'm looking to pick up a pair and am trying to find a reliable source.

So let me ask the oppiste question how do you keep them on while you have the headlight on. I've seen them on other gs. mine turn off when my headlight go on?

NOTE: The left side has the 'tab' removed as you really have to wedge it into the holder with the DRL #1 minifuse

Up north here, where the sun stays on the horizon a long time, they're a real safety feature. how about changing the bulbs to match the colour temp of the HIDs? There's a lot of posts here about that.
